Been involved with stocks for 40+ years.
I know what Tulip-mania and Ponzi schemes are.
I've made lots of mistakes so now I get to make fewer mistakes.
Demographics matter, retired boomers can't take shares to the grocery, they want cash.
The bank want's to borrow my money for 0.2% interest? Really?
The bank wants to lend my money to a late pay credit card holder for 29.99% interest?
